my utmost desire
to change
to bring glory to Your name
to become the man i was created to be
to sing the songs i was created to sing
to say the words i was created to speak
to trust in the truth i was made to believe
to say thank you for what ive been given
to find joy in everything
to love the way you love
to give more than enough
to walk the streets of heaven
to sing praises at Your feet
to share the wisdom Youve given
to become more like you and less like me
to bring glory to Your name
to become the man i was created to be
to sing the songs i was created to sing
to say the words i was created to speak
to trust in the truth i was made to believe
to say thank you for what ive been given
to find joy in everything
to love the way you love
to give more than enough
to walk the streets of heaven
to sing praises at Your feet
to share the wisdom Youve given
to become more like you and less like me

A W Tozer:
O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need of further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, the Triune God, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, that so I may know Thee indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Say to my soul, `Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.' Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wandered so long.

my friend Jen sent me this. . .
I just wanted to share with ya something that I heard Sunday morning that was so awesome, such an encouragement!! We had a guest speaker yesterday, he told us a story of how he met this woman who was trying to explain to him about the drug Prozac that she used to take. As he was listening to her explain this drug to him, how it works..he started to see the overall picture behind her story. She explained to him that she has this disease that forms tumors on all of her nerve endings, is extremely painful, most of the time unbearable. She then explained that when she takes this medication (Prozac) it basicly numbs her brain, her ability to think clearly, make right decisions. Through talking to her more he realizes that this woman is a Christian, she said that what hurts the most is that it disables her ability to please her Lord, obey Him and make choices that are centered around Him. So, because she felt like she wasn't able to please the Lord the way she needed to, she decided to stop taking her medication, suffer through the pain so that she could please her Lord!! Is that powerful stuff or what?! After hearing that I thought...if this woman was willing to suffer in order to please, obey her Lord then we, as perfectly healthy individuals have no reason or excuse to ever stop striving to please, obey our Lord and Heavenly Father! Also, I mean if this woman was able to make such a sacrifice as that in order to do what's right, obey God..then that just proves how important it is for us as Christians to strive to please the Lord! I hope this was as much an encouragement to you as it was to me..pass it on to somebody else too so they can be encouraged to please, obey our Lord!

Why read Proverbs? (part 4)
:to give prudence to the naive, knowledge and discretion to the youth.
We are all children of God and must rely on this divine perspective of wisdom thats necessary to handle life's issues.
Its where the rubber meets the road!
